Good Friday

My mom has many delicious recipes, but this one for her Baked Salmon with a Parmesan Cheese and Herb Crust stands out as one of her favourites. The cheese, herbs and mayonnaise combine in the oven to form this golden brown crisp crust on top, revealing a moist and flavourful fillet of salmon underneath. It was a favourite with my family and I am sure yours will enjoy it, too! Try serving this recipe with some young asparagus and steamed baby potatoes dressed only in butter, sea salt and pepper. Simple, flavourful and very few dishes, what more could you want for a Friday night!? Thanks for the recipe Mom!

Happy Cooking!

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
